What's the height of those shelves? Can I stack paperbacks horizontally or only vertically? Concerned they'd fall off the back.

there is a bar across the back of each shelf, about 5" up. There are 11-12" between shelves

12.05" is what I got. There is a bar the runs lengthways in-between the shelves that would stop the books from falling out the back. I have some books on mine a few are rather tall but I am using bookends and have not had a problem yet.

About 12 inches. I have dozens of books on mine. Vertical or horizontal will fit.

Lisa, the bar across the back, measured height from shelf to bar about 5 inches. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure, but I have some pretty heavy hardcover books without any bowing of the shelves. Hope that helps!

Yes, you can stack them. I have three of them stacked. You can also buy a four shelf set on Amazon. I would have done that, but, I already had two.

They will hold books. Our shelf was the standard thickness 3/4" and they fit tightly on there so they are pretty sturdy. We were pleasantly surprised with them and ordered more for our other closets. Hope this info helps!

The shelves are adjustable so you can make the height suit your needs. If you have a lot of textbooks, I would suggest putting them on the bottom shelf because of their weight.

Depends if it is the fixed shelf or adjustable. No hardbacks in the middle of adjustable. I haven't had any bending with mine, but I use mine to display all sorts of different items, not just books. Disperse the weight and you should be alright unless your item is super heavy and right in the middle of the shelf. They aren't as flimsy as some reviews claimed them to be but they aren't Ethan Allen either ;-)

I have notebooks stand on both shelves vertically. This little bookcase is lots more than what it looks like in the picture. I think that it will fill your needs. Good Luck.

They are pretty sturdy, you can easily do 10-15 pounds per shelf. It is 3/4" composite board material so it's going to hold a full load of books if you needed.

I no longer have these, but as I recall, there is one way to stack them for nesting and another for shelves. I recall that the shelving arrangement snapped in place. I also used them in a small camper closet and they worked perfectly.

I don't think they would hold books, I believe that I have them on .5" shelves.

I am not sure if they would hold books. I have one that is very snug on the shelf and the other isn't as snug and tends to wiggle too much. They are on the exact same shelf. I think the thickness is roughly 2". If you got 2 that fit a shelf snug, holding up books might be okay.

Yes, the shelves should fit them height wise just fine, depth wise may be close, but the open back should allow for it on 2/3 of the shelf.

The shelves are nice and deep and can also be adjusted for the height of your books. They're made for average sized books but taller books may require you to adjust how/where you place your sheves which is great to even have the option. I hope this was helpful.

books should be fine, but these shelves won't hold a whole lot of them. Each is like a quarter circle

I have not tried it but since they collapse on the sides, I wouldn't try it. I have set them on their sides to have easier access to contents when they are on a shelf and they seem to hold up fine, but don't think it would work to stack them on their side.

Each shelf is about 9.75". Since it is not adjustable and fixed at 9.75", I am putting my books in sideways or laying them down and stack them.
